HOLLAND, Tex, Feb. 1.-Two Of Hol-

but he wanted to run down to
Galveston to draw few thousand
Tor current expenses and needed $3.50 for
that purpose which was furnished by one
of the Holland NJ. DIS, and the other

him in Austin to receive the $50 with
$3.50 more for kindness, ETC., and S25 for

A JUDGE ASSAULTED.
Attempted assassination of the Terror of
EVIL Doors Around Cincinnati

EVIL DO6TS Around Cincinnati.
CINCINNATI, ONO, Feb. AN attempt
upon the life of Judge j. +. Fitzgerald of
the Police court last night produced a
profound feeling. The Judge has for a
long time been the terrier of evil doors,
but no one has ever ventured to charge
him with any feeling but that OF
a desire to vindicate the law End punish
and prevent crime. Only yesterday he
had nearly hundred cackneys before
him, and in all the cases where they plead
guilty he hEed them SIS and costs.
There is still number Of tnrse cases to be
heard on Friday. The circumstance Of
the attack being made last night
gives color 10 the suspicion that some
one interested On behalf of these defend
ants had undertaken 81 desperate scheme
of numbering the Judge. The time for
the guilty deed was well chosen. The
Judge was alone in his library preparing
decision in a submitted case. His son
and his sons wife had gone to the theater
when the door bell at the side entrance
rang. The Judge answered it in person.
He says he saw man with q black face
there who said
"Judge Fitzgerald"
The Judge answered: "WeMa" -.-
Just then the caller drew q white hand
from his overc at pocket and the Judge
caught glimpse OF the weapon in time to
jump aside just before the shot was fired
He fell with an exclamation and the as
sasSin doubtless thought he had accom-
plished his purpose. The servant girls
came to his help and the neigh
bors were summoned. 1t was found
he had not been wounded
though the ball cut through his coat He
was greatly Frustrated by the nervous
shock which was greater because, al
though he had not before made it known,
this was not the first assault he has suf-
fered. About week ago after attending
a business meeting near the courthouse,
he started home when come one hurled
q brickbat or bOwlder at his head,
which narrowly missed lis marx
1t was dark and the Judge could not see
his assailant, who instantly ran. The
Judge appeared as usual on the bench this
He says he has no doubt he
can recognize the voice and form ot his

TRACK LAID IN EACH YEAR FOR TWENTY


An examination of the table shows that
While the work of railway building has
been in progress in all but six of the
states and territories the greatest sctiv-
itY has been exhibited il a broad belt
west Oi the Missouri river, stretching
from Dakota and Montana south to the
gull. Kansas continues, as last year, far
in the lead, showing already an addition
OF at least 1850 miles since the year be-
gan. Nebraska follows next with q re-
port Of SCI miles, Texas with $50 miles,
Colorado with 7I8 miles and Da-
kota with 689 miles. These four
states and one territory already having
added 1873 miles of railways, OF more
than half of the total thus far reported
for the entire country. Young Montana
follows with nearly 500 miles, mostly the
work Of single company, and the fertile
Indian Territory, although still locked
against the entrance of white immigra-
ton, has been crossed by several great
lines which this year hsve laid down asa
miles OF track within its borders. Ais
bsma comes next, reporting 377 miles,
Michigan $50 miles, Missouri 500 miles
and Iowa 242 miles. In 81
OF these states works are still
in progress, which viii materially Ia-

Total in Al states and territories 274 9,4OS
These figures for ten months consider
ably surpass those for the same period in
the remarkable year 1882, when total of
ii 568 miles Of new road was built.
They also show that already in 1887 more
track has been laid than in the whole Of
1886, and nearly as much as in 1881,
wnen 1886 miles were added, while they
put far in the shade the record of all
other years in the history Of this or any
other country. We have now no doubt
that the total new mileage built
in 1887 will reach fully to our
previous estimate of $4,000 miles, and
shall not be surprised if it even exceeds
that. While work has been completed
for theYear upon several of the great
lines, it is still in progress on many others
80 actively that already considerable sd-
ditiors have been made since the date OF
our lest returns, and if the weather con-
tirues favorable the final reports will be
certain to show an addition of several
thousand miles over the figures here

print the following summary OF track
laying during each Of the twenty years
preceding 1887:
